This was in my Collectibles Boxes. I believe it is from the 1950's.
There are no Proof of Purchase Barcode on the Plastic Bag.
Does anyone recognize it ? Does it have anything to do with sewing ?
TIA
LOU

Drafting tool?

Manual rhinestone setting tool? You clearly put something in the jaws and push down.

If the springs on the sides are compressed the 2 blocks on the sides go up past the jaws, about 1/8 inch.

Pattiohio:
Thanks for the info and the Link.
You just jogged my memory.

It is close to Presto #4 in the link.

I think my wife bought this at an Auction in the late 60's,
when I was building a Grandfathers Clock.
Never had to use it.

Don't get Old, you forget things.lol !!!

Thanks to all the others too.
LOU
